Indonesia is considering blocking the live-streaming app Bigo Live and the messaging platform Telegram due to their alleged involvement in spreading pornography and promoting online gambling, APA reports citing Jakarta.
Communication and Informatics Minister Budi Arie Setiadi revealed that the Ministry has already issued strong warnings to both platforms. However, the responses from Telegram and Bigo Live have been inadequate.
"I would prefer to shut down Bigo Live and Telegram immediately, but a team needs to conduct further studies first," Budi Arie said in Jakarta on Wednesday.
He emphasized that this is the second warning issued to Bigo Live, and if a third warning is necessary, the Ministry will not hesitate to block the Singapore-based platform.
